Everything went like clockwork. Just as we entered the thick of it, the sight of frogmen made me feel reassured. Beautiful bike track. Miss Laghet was very difficult to conquer... and finally: 10 pleasant kilometers (less hard than I thought). All went well.

I will surely respond to the call of 2012, improving my time (that goes without saying).

Wanted to thank all the organizer for the opportunity and this really nice race. Good work on a solid organized event. Hope to race another time on one TriStar race !

Quelle superbe organisation avez-vous fait ! Simplement excellente. :-)

Les volontaires étaient sympas, « supportif », bien positionné... Les postes d’alimentation étaient parfaitement organisés. Les routes étaient bien contrôlés par les policiers et les volontaires. La zone de transition était parfaite avec des volontaires qui savaient quoi faire, excellente!

Les VIP qui participaient étaient très sympas ! J'ai doublé Alex Wurz plusieurs fois, avant qu'il parte dans la descente (beaucoup trop vite pour moi !) et nous avons bien parlé. J'ai aussi roulé plusieurs kilomètres avec Tom Kristensen et parlé avec Bruno Senna... Tous étaient très sympas.

This is a short note to say: “Thank you” to all the organizers and the volunteers for the organization of Sunday's race.

There were many volunteers at the race and the presence of the many policemen on the bike course made the race very secure. The volunteers were very friendly, efficient and always smiling. I run a lot of triathlons and this one was particularly well organized.

I came with a small group of people from of Aix-en-Provence and the feeling of satisfaction was general among us.

Long time triathlon and motorsports enthusiast, for my first long distance triathlon, the Tristar111 Monaco made perfect sense. A magical location, ideal surroundings, perfect organisation, the swimming part in crystal clear waters, a wonderful cycling stage with views that take your breath away (... in all the senses of the term) and, to finish, the running stage on the most mythical Formula 1 circuit of the world championship. An experience, a real one, that I would recommend to all, let’s meet up on 4 September 2011! I shall come back for more, this time with 2 friends!!!

I was very excited when TriStar111 Monaco was announced as it made the race all about riding up the mountains and the run becomes a more enjoyable 10km round the F1 track [...] We couldn't come in 2010 as it clashed with the ITU World Championship in Hungary [...] In 2011, Ian will be doing the long distance World Championship in Las Vegas in November so TriStar111 Monaco is perfectly placed as a warm up event for him. On top of the 3 of us competing, Jock is bringing his family [...] Last time we came out on the Thursday and went home the day after the race and this worked very well. We would like to stay in Beausoleil as it had the feel of a small village with the people living there but still very much within walking distance to the start and finish of the race. Looking forwards to coming back to Monaco and to conquering those hills on the bike.

Dear Tristar team,  It was my First Triathlon and so it took me some time to realize how special the event was. Impressed by the qualitity of support you gave. Thanks and see you next year!

It was a very nice weekend, we loved it. The quartet managed the race pretty well for its first [...] The top starting, I was told, you must go very fast in order to avoid to be swim over you. So I made a really strong start even if after 150m, I had to catch my breath, I came out of the water 44th! The bike course was a beautiful mountain course... very nice, but mostly well marked, thanks to the organization, difficult to do more, there was not a crossroads without flag and it's not always like [...] The next day at work, very hard, it was quite warm on the coast, water at 24°C, air at 28°C, looks like vacation. Stay like that and congratulations to the organization, and the kindness of volunteers. Bye

My name is Katharina Schroll and I participated at Tristar111 Monaco on September 5! It was so awesome! All the atmosphere, the course, the whole organization, etc. There was still one thing that day which was even more impressive! After finishing TriStar111 Monaco in about 6 hours and 40 minutes, my boyfriend Sascha, who also participated, proposed to me! It was one of the happiest days of my life! Thanks to the TriStar111 Monaco Team!

I had a really good day. I wanted to beat Jenson (Button) in the swim - which I did by just 1 second! [...] I was very pleased with my 47 minutes run especially as both Alex (Wurz) and Jenson shouted encouragements at me as I started my last lap. As I came into the finish, I decided upon the jump and was very surprised when I actually touched the structure - just glad I didn't knock it down! After the jump I ended with a forward roll down the slope into the arms of my sister who was handing out the medals. Brilliant!
